Site Engineering

Successful development of any project site requires diligent engineering planning and design. The site area around a project building is what connects it with the outside world. It provides the conduit for services, outdoor amenity spaces as well as providing access for patrons.

The successful design of a new building (or expansion of an existing building) is a team effort. Many areas of expertise and design disciplines must be brought together to provide input. As the site engineering consultant, Skelton Brumwell is a component of that successful design team. Working with other professionals (architect, mechanical, structural and landscape) to deliver a complete project, Skelton Brumwell provides design expertise to connect municipal services, design of site grading to facilitate access and direct drainage, and design of local road improvements. In locations where full municipal services are not available, Skelton Brumwell designs on site water and sewage treatment systems.

As part of the multidisciplinary design team, we were responsible for design of site grading and municipal servicing of this LEED Silver project. The library was designed and constructed at an accelerated pace to meeting the requirements of Infrastructure funding, opening in early 2011.
